Default RE: Second Thoughts...

The landings aren't the part that really worries me... I'm good at landing my trainer I have 1 bounce every like 4 landings and the others are pretty well greasers.. The thing I worry about is it flipping over on it's back.. While I'm confident I have alot of money in this plane and it's gonna have to last and I can't get bored with it (Not so worried with that part). I'm worried I'll pull up to rotate and that sucker will do a very tight loop into the ground(little exagerated but ya know) My inst. has a Tiger 60 with .91 fourstroke in it he let me fly around and let me tell ya it was fun for me as this was before i even soloed (trainer probs.) I think I'm so worried about collecting planes I'm not gonna concentrate on polishing off my skills with each plane and stage. For Ex. I was going to get an AT-6 texan for x-mas this year! I think I need to slow down and concentrate on getting hours of flying under my belt.. I think I'm gonna pull the gear from the U-CAN-DO and go with the space walker! I hope some other beginers read this and "Slow down a bit" so they don't waste to much money. Thanks guys for the advice!

BTW I looked at the 4* and thought the 51 may be to much power for it as was the case with the Tiger 2.. I could spring for a tiger 60 and pull the saito off the Ucando but I think I'll Use my trusty Little .51 and keep The price down on this one. Thanks again
